Hsu Nandar Win

From the moment I accepted Hsus' proposal to the day after I left, Hsu was in contact with me to make sure that everything was OK . She was happy to meet me at the airport and take me to the showedagon paya for a few hours before going onto the place I was staying.  Hsu went out of her way to accomodate my wishes in the time limit I had, she suggested that we start the following morning  around 7 am in order to fit in a half day tour before I had to leave again. Her knowledge about her own country,  the history of the city and buddhism is good. I would highly recommed her as a tour guide for single as well as group travellers. 

Khin Thuzarsoe

Khin has indeed excellent english. She speaks with fluency and is easy to understand. I was hoping to book her for two days, one for going to Kakku and the other for around Inle lake. Sadly she was already busy for the first day and, in the end, due to a leg injury, she herself was unable to be with me on the second day . Despite this, Khin went out of her way to organise a driver to take me to Kakku and kept in regular contact with him to suggest places that he could stop in order that I could look around the sites. She also organised for a guide who we picked up on the way, to take me around Kakku itself. Khin came round to my hotel that evening to make sure that the day went well and explain the plans for the next day. She had found me another lovely tour guide lady to take me around Inle lake and the sites. Khin explained exactly what my wishes were to her. The day was lovely, the best part of it being the fantastic home stay meal that she organised.  I would highly recommed people take this up. 

I would not hesitate booking her again. One point, internet connection is not always that great there so be patient and wait a few days. She will get back to you when she can.

Zawmyo Win

If you want to come away from Bagan having a clear grasp of the historical events of Bagan and where it fits into the buddhist faith this is the man for you!

Win is extremely knowedgable and loves to share his love for his own country with you. I spent two full days immersed in this world and at the end realised that we had only just touched the surface. We also covered many other different subjects from the part the british played in the past to the role of woman within myanmar today. His mind is always open to discovering more and he enjoys this interaction with people from all over the world. 

Win also took me to neigbouring villages and showed me the way of life there and some of the crafts of the area.  This is a wondeful balance to the day. 

Like all the other guides I met in Myanmar, Win looked after me very well, making sure that everything was OK. I would highly reccommed him as a guide. You come out far richer in your understanding than when you begun. 

Lwin Lwin Htay

Lwin was wonderfully accommodating guide. Her love and knowledge of her own country alongside her wish share this and accommodate the individual tourist’s interests, in what they wish to see or hear about, is a service that is hard to find nowadays. Because time was limited, Lwin kindly arranged to meet me off the bus in Mandalay and was in communication with the bus driver to make sure I was dropped off at the right place as he did not speak any English. I spent two half days with Lwin and her tuc tuc driver. She showed me the most beautiful palaces, monasteries, local crafts and different aspects of rural life. We were lucky to come across a novitiation ceremony. As a solo traveller I was reassured that if I needed, I knew Lwin was always there to help, for instance, she went out of her way to help arrange shared taxi rides for me when I wished to visit an old friend out of the city and made sure that I got to the airport in time to catch the plane. I highly recommend her and her tuc tuc services to anyone.
